Graham Greene

Twenty-two short stories by Graham Greene, arranged in pairs to be read as either a duel or a duet. Few twentieth-century writers are as lauded and celebrated for their craft as Graham Greene, author of some of the most influential novels of the last century. Greene's explorations of human nature-its harmonies and contradictions-ranged from espionage thrillers of secret agents, murder, and war to cutting dramas about love and fear, morality and faith.
Greene's vigor and virtuosity are also present in his prodigious body of short stories. In this new collection, Pulitzer Prize winner (and Graham Greene devotee) Yiyun Li arranges a selection of twenty-two classic Graham Greene short stories as pairs, to be read together either as a duel or a duet, offering a new perspective on a writer we thought we knew, and the surprising and wide-ranging power of his short fiction.
